Apperance: Ruby red with a generous, beige, head and lots of sticky lacing.
Aroma: Dried fruit, Caramel, Cocoa and roasted malts.
Flavor: Butterscotch, Caramel, Ripe fruit, Bread and a subtle hint of some spice.
Palate: Sweet and malty with a minimal bitterness at the end. Sweetness is in no way overwhelming tho!
Second beer i’ve tried from this brewery and they continue to impress me. This might not be as good as the best german doppelbocks but it’s not far behind!

This pours a nice deep red color with a smallish head. The aroma is nice with good hints of cherry and alcohol. The Flavor is a little roasty with some good sweet fruitiness of cherry and apple with some good alcohol drying it out.
